Clement Cuvee Homere Rhum Vieux Agricole Hors d'Age

Clement Cuvee Homere is a prestige rhum vieux agricole from Rhum Clement on Martinique, named in honour of Homere Clement, the founder of the house, and presented in a square glass carafe. Like all rhum agricole it is distilled from fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses, and it carries the AOC Martinique appellation, which sets exacting standards for every stage of production. The cuvee is a blend of carefully selected aged rums chosen by the cellar master and matured in oak, labelled Hors d'Age. Wine Enthusiast scored it 97 points and named it one of its Top 50 Spirits. Bottled at 44% ABV, 750ml.

Nose: Warm biscuits and almond butter opening into baking spice.

Palate: Very soft and balanced, with woody vanilla and toasted coconut.

Food Pairing: The house suggests an orange carpaccio.

Serve: Neat, at room temperature.
